like u just know that when bucky was found by hydra after the fall and dragged away, he called out for steve. and when they slammed him onto an operating table and ran tests on him and wiped him again and again, he woke up screaming steve’s name, and they would wonder why it wasn’t working. because the last time bucky was lying on an operating table, being tested on by hydra and zola, steve came. steve saved him. so naturally you know bucky hoped it would happen again, hoped every time zola came at him with some new instrument of torture that steve would burst through the door and carry him out like he did the first time.
